Knot one end of all the ribbon strips together, then separate ribbon into two groups of five.

I used cork board to pin the ribbon down, then in a braided fashion twist the two groups together to create a rope. Knot your loose ends together.

In the middle of your rope create a simple knot. I created my knot a little loose and wide so that the twist is still apparent.

Pin the other side to the cork board so that you have created a u.

Once you have decided which part of the twist you want to follow begin beading. I tied a knot at the end of my invisible thread. I then threaded my needle across the back of the rope and then once more leaving slack to pass my needle through to create another knot attached to the rope.
